Gotta love it [Posted on 2008-03-01]
A very useful tool. Plenty of adjustabity for length as well as cutter rotation. Allows user to access obscure branches easily. Light weight to reduce fatigue yet strong design, but care should be taken as to not bind or stress plastic cutter head. Awesome saw also; just a couple of strokes for a 1" limb. A must have for the arborist homeowner. Four stars for the same reason that nobody gets a 10 except Jesus.
I'll give you your opinion [Posted on 2008-04-04]
I've have made my living as a technician ever since 1977 - 6 years after getting my MS from UW-Milwaukee. As a technician (Cal licensed electrician/locksmith 1982) I'll tell you that this is as good as it gets. It is well designed, light and easy to use. The saw accessory is useless, as the teeth are too coarse to be used safely and effectively. Just toss it.
3 BIG WORDS OF CAUTION THAT REAL MEN NEED TO READ TWICE---
1--do not cut anything that requires more than 120# of pull. 2--when not in use, spray the cutting area with some sort of lubricant--to prevent rust,(3) most importantly, when pulling the cutting sleeve, do not, I repeat do not ever, ever, ever brace the end of the pole against your shoulder (pectorial muscles) when pulling on the sliding sleeve. TJS.
Great product, Excellent Customer Service [Posted on 2008-04-06]
I am an ISA Certified Arborist, so I can tell you, as a professional, that this product beats all other similar products out there, hands down. I use mine on the job just about everyday, and it stands up to pretty tough use. It does go through webbing straps every now and then, but restringing new straps is easy, once you get used to it. Customer Support as Fiskars is second to none. They have replaced, at no charge, numerous webbing straps, the extension tube and a cutting head. Rest assured, unless you are a professional out there, you will probably never have to change out anything on your unit. If you ever have to though, I can assure you that Fiskars will be there to help you out, via their toll-free number and quick e-mail response team. I recommend this unit and its smaller brother. Both go into the trees with me, sixty feet and higher, and both give reliable service.
Tree pruning essential [Posted on 2008-04-20]
I have used this tool for three years in Europe for getting to higher branches. Can't imagine how one can keep trees orderly without this device. The Fiskars name means Fiskars quality. The included saw for thicker branches is as good as the 'special' palm saw I had already bought before Fiskars marketed it in the USA. So, if you live in sub-tropical climes, don't bother to buy anything except this Fiskars tool for looking after palms and other trees... If you live further north, it's an equally essential tool.
Great Product [Posted on 2008-04-21]
After it arrived, I went right out and trimmed a few trees. Amazing how easy it was to use and how effective it was.
